About the application:

QR Codes become more and more necessary. In some places they have even replaced the traditional barcode. A QR Code is able to shop up to seven thousand heroes and therefore is qualified for more complex content, e.g. vCards. Hence nowadays QR Codes can nowadays be found on nearly every ad poster and animate the player to scan it with his phone. Thus, it is no longer important take a hand written note, it is enough to scan the QR Code. Correspondingly, there are already a lot of QR Code scanner apks accessible in the Google Play Shop. It belongs to the Privacy Friendly Apks group developed by the research group SECUSO at Technische Universität Darmstadt. More info can be found an secuso.org/pfa Our Privacy Friendly QR Scanner Apk differs with respect to two aspects: 1. The Privacy Friendly QR Scanner Apk only requires the minimum amount of permissions, namely: • In category "Camera/Microphone": Camera The camera is used to scan QR Code. • In category "Another": Vibrate and Flashlight The vibration is used to provide feedback if the scan was successful. The flashlight is used to help the camera in reading the QR Code successfully in awful lighting conditions. Most of the QR Code scanner apks accessible in the Google Play Shop need a few permissions on top of the ones required: e.g. reading contacts or your call log and retrieving data from the Internet. Most of these requirements are not important for the functionality they actually are supposed to provide. 2. The Privacy Friendly QR Scanner Apk supports its players in detecting malicious links: QR Codes provide fresh possibilities for an attacker, as QR Codes can include malicious links, i.e. links to phishing webpages or webpages from which malware would automatically be downloaded. Therefore it is necessary to carefully check the link before accessing the corresponding webpage. Since it is difficult for the player to spot malicious links, the Privacy friendly QR Scanner Apk supports the player by highlighting the domain (e.g. in that case for https://www.secuso.org, secuso.org would be highlighted). To avoid not checking the link and in particular the highlighted domain carefully, the apk provides info about possible fraud and its players need to confirm that they checked the link and it is trustworthy. Note, the info shown after scanning an URL based QR Code is not customized for every URL. Hence, it could be considered as an tip for the player how to behave in general. Similar to another accessible QR Code scanning apks, the Privacy Friendly QR Scanner Apk supports the following formats: • text • product codes • phone number • sms • email address • email • contact info (e.g. vCards) • URL • WiFi (limited: cannot connect to network automatically) Bar codes are also supported.
